Herts Haven Cafes new drop in

A new Herts Haven Café is opening at the Quaker Meeting House in Hemel Hempstead from 9 November. It is following the same drop-in support model of the Herts Haven Cafés for 10-18 year olds which opened in the summer (July 2023).

The new Hemel Hempstead Café is open on Thursdays (starting 9 November: 3.30-8pm) and Saturdays (starting 18 November:12-5pm) replacing the original Café which was launched in South Oxhey. Sadly the South Oxhey Café ended on 2 November due to lack of attendance predominantly. Hertfordshire Mind Network who host all the Cafés hope the new location will provide even more young people with opportunities to easily access drop-in emotional wellbeing support.

Like Stevenage and Watford, the Hemel Café provides a safe and welcoming drop-in space for compassionate face to face emotional and mental wellbeing information, as well as support and guidance from trained workers, without the need for a referral. Young people can also access digital emotional and mental wellbeing support services, speak to other people who may be experiencing similar things and also gain a better understanding about ways in which they can keep themselves emotionally and mentally well.

You can download the flyer and help us to share details of the Cafés with young people who you think might benefit from this fantastic new service at this new venue. Please contact: cyp@hertsmindnetwork.org if you would like some printed copies to be sent out to your organisation.
